Many thanks Matt, that does look spot on. Have just done a quick bit of reading on these and with 850 species separatable mainly by venation looks like thats...
Hi guys, just using the wet weather as a reason to catch up on admin and found an unidentified bee (?) from last April. I have uploaded it into Martins Pics...
